I was wondering if any of you have one of these. How accurate are they? Any and all information would be appreciated.

I got one in 243 for my grandson's stepbrother. It's spooky accurate.

My all-weather .223 is very accurate. The thing that had me the most afraid of buying it was being able to get the trigger to an acceptable weight and clean break. Fortunately an internet search found trigger job instructions and now it's a very nice trigger.

The newest chambering is for the .450 Bushmaster. That has black bear written all over it.
The 250-grain Hornady at 2200 fps. Way cool.

Leonten,
I bought one in .300 Blackout. It would not feed from the magazine and it would not fire CCI450 primers. I called Ruger and was told don't use Remington or Barnes ammo but use Gorilla ammo. And never use reloads in your Ruger rifle. I asked for a heavier firing pin spring and the lady told me that was not going to happen. If I wanted I could ship it back to them at their expense and they would see if it matched specs.

Thanks for the information. My buddy, Sena88, is the one that's buying the rifle. For the price it looks like a good gun. He's looking for it in 270 Winchester. As I said before this will be his one and only big game rifle. He's not a loony like me.

A plain standard in 223, shoots very well, better than the stainless Model 7 I have.

Best bang for the buck in a rifle if aesthetics don't matter to you. I own 2, have shot 4 others. Extremely accurate. Some early versions had magazines that were less than reliable. Ruger replaced mine and I've had no other issues.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

I bought one in .308 when they first came out. Put a Nikon scope on it. The rifle will shoot under a MOA with factory loads.

Have they fixed the magazine hangup problem yet? They've sent me 3 new mags for my 30-06 and they all stick.
Other than that, it's a great rifle for the price.

I traded for one in .270 at a pawn shop. It had been worked over by Cross Canyon Arms in UT. Based on the markings I assume was a Mule Deer Foundation raffle gun. Excellent results with 140 grn Hornady SST.

Had a American predator in 6.5 Creedmoor that was crazy accurate with Hornady factory ammo but I could not warm up to the stock.
